‘On ‘that Particular day, I blew my stack slightly at an old friend who showed up with a pew car and seat covers. Hate ‘em on new cars. I probably should have said Si. the new car was pretty, rides comfortably and he got the best model and let it go. You know, the old business. Since seat covers have been a source of deep irritation to me for many years, the second I saw them on my friend's new car, my mquth began to flap. “What are the seat covers for?” : “To keep the seats clean, comedian. What do you think they make seat covers for?” “Are the seats dirty?” “No, they're not dirty.” “What's the upholstery look like?” “I don't remember,” ° BA SE «+ ‘MY FRIEND had “his back to the wall. He knew his arguments were crashing against a stone wall, Then I asked him if he.intended to keep the seats clean for the man who bought the car two or three years hence. “Not particularly.” “You know the man who buys a second harf¥i - Why don't. you enjoy the beauty of your SieHEbie: When it's

Newsman Gets Shock By Harman W. Nichols
WASHINGTON, Mar. 20 (UP)—It's a delightful shock to get a government fandout that Is written clearly and simply. Like the one that came from the Treasury Department the other day. That dignified office usually is so tangled in weighty things like unbalanced budgets and matters of high finance that it can't see the facts for the figures. _ The fellow who wrote the piece that caught my fancy is a modest cuss who prefers to rehain unidentified. Anyway, the day that a
Chicago underworld character came to grips with the tax people, our man wrote: “Another Capone was brought to book today by the Bureau of Internal Revenue.. He is Ralph Capone, Chicago racketeer, brother of the late Al of unsavory fame.”
* & @,
THERE was a dispatch that anyone could understand at 4 glance. The meat of the subJect was quite clear. Our man was a shooter- from- the shoulder with all of the important things visible to the naked eye. He went ahead and spoke his piece In simple language. Not only that, but he gave the newsmen a complete background on the Capone mob, men-
.. tioning such characters by name as Frank Nitti,
Jack Guzik, Hymie “Loudmouth” Levin, Murray “The Camel” Humphreys and Rocco De Grazia some of the many who fell before the government’s income tax prosecutions. All of this saved the re-write men in our offices and others a 8 Hp to the library.

Do you want to go for a ride or:don’t you?” “If you're going to get smart- about it I may not go ‘for a ride in your stinkin’ car.” We almost came to blows when he began pushing me out. Understand, he’s an old friend. I know how to handle him. I still had to take a bus from Broad Ripple. There were a few more words on the subject remaining. As a pedestrian who manages to ride in many automobiles, I say there ought to bg an award of some kind to the man who doesn’t slap seat covers into a new car. Just like there ought to be dn award to the father who has pictures of his kids but doesn’t show them until someone asks to see. In this same respect, there ought to be an award to the
man who continués to hold open an automobile “door for his loved one after they're married.

IT'S THE little things of life I'm interested in. The man who buys & beautiful new machine with ‘rich-looking ‘upholstery and. lets it be, is a man of distinction in my book. He wouldn't paint the exterior. He doesn't monkey with the motor. Why is it necessary to And most of the time the upholstery is .covered before it leaves the deal-, er's. .

Receives a Readable Government - Handout
SOME AGENCIES often give out reports which slow up the works in a newspaper office — like one which arrived the other day. The first paragraph said: The Wire Communications Manufacturing Industry Advisory Committee at a meeting today with the National Production Authority, U. S. Department of Commerce, asked that action be taken to enable the industry to obtain adequate supplies for production of telephone and telegraph equipment for defense and essential needs
until a controlled materials plan becomes effective. “da A MAN had to read down a considerable

ANOTHER release said: “Record /levels in the proportion of married people and in the number of young children was revealed by preliminary figures on the characteristics of the population of the state of New York, released today by Roy V.
